While earning monthly rental income from a single property is a great income supplement, making money from multiple properties is the only way to gain financial independence and retire early, and that's what most investors aspire to.The key, of course, is to invest in a location which promises higher return than your current market.

However, when it comes to my mortgage, I have chosen not to prioritize early repayment, as I do not personally feel the urgency to do so.By organizing my money in this manner, I aim to establish a solid financial foundation, cater to short- and long-term goals, and maintain stability in the face of unforeseen circumstances.
